Simple Man Lyrics & Chords By The Stray Birds

I drive my plough
From fields to fields
And my back.
Is nearly broken

But in my mind
I've been doing something right
Still my days
Seen to go unspoken

I am a simple man
I don't ask for nothing
Don't reach out for your hand
Let me die on my land

My father died
When I was still young
And I had.
To find life on my own

I was sleeping in the woods
I was living on bread crumbs
Make a boy feel so god-awful alone

And I am a simple man
I don't ask for nothing
Don't reach out for your hand
Let me die on my land

Well my mule has gone lame
And my work, my work is slow
These times.
They can bring me a little sorrow

Got no food on my table
No wood in my fire
And I pray some nights
I don't wake up tomorrow

Well I can't feed my children anymore
Now I hear death
Knocking around my door
Let me die in grief no more

And I am a simple man
I don't ask for nothing
Don't reach out for your hand
Let me die on my land
